Just so you all know - the traffic lights are going in BECAUSE of the increase in traffic that the Crinella/Theissen Project AND the Burbank project will create. The company that the county has hired to study our traffic needs has determined that two lights will be necessary, starting with the one at Mirabel and 116.

Many of us would still like to see the possibility of a round-a-bout at Mirabel and 116 instead of a light. The brake dust and acceleration exhaust is a bit much for downtown, especially when combined with what will come off the Covey/116 intersection, which has no space to accommodate a round-a-bout. Allan Tilton, our resident traffic engineer has already designed one for the Mirabel intersection, and has mountains of information on their benefits. There are now 5 in Petaluma.
